8.6/10 Excellent! (680 reviews)

It is a beautiful property. The rooms are spacious and clean. Great views. The seaweed, however, smells bad and muddies the water, so no swimming at beaches. But the property has so many swimming pools, so there are plenty of places to swim. Shuttles on the property are scarce at times, so LOTS of walking. The employees are great and very respectful. Most of the restaurants have very good food, but some of the waiters had a bit of an attitude, probably because of the stress of serving so many people. The japanese restaurant is fantastic. There are these cute raccoons all over the place, but they also deficate on sidewalks and stairways. All in all, this is a great retreat.
